Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 24/05/2025He’s not really desperate for “trade deals”. He just needs to collect any income from the tariffs that he can to fund the “sovereign fund”. We should also ignore the fact that nobody knows exactly where this sovereign fund is, the current balance, or who or what it is being “invested” in. 000

Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 09/04/2025It is true, coal burning in the U.S. has been all but replaced by liquid natural gas (LNG) and coal simply cannot compete. Coal is still an export tho. India is a huge importer and the EU has increased imports recently. But… importers of U.S. coal will very likely tariff it in response, lol 000

Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Not easily, no. First, there is a distinction between enforcement of tax collections and what the administration does with the money. The only clear way out would be secession, and that is a sticky and difficult process. I predict we will see honest blue state secession proposals by next year. 010
Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 05/02/2025The real “buried lead” in the move was removal of the $800 de minimis rule. USPS stopping packages was irrelevant, some major retail services (Amazon, Temu, SHEIN…) are now cooked. Many people don’t realize there were U.S jobs that sprung up around processing de minimis packages - also cooked 030
Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I have a crazy theory… TikTok feels “dumb” lately. Almost like the algorithm is broken or completely missing.

Kathryn Darcy @katiedarcy.bsky.social · 17/01/2025This case feels a bit weak though. I mean volume pricing has been around forever, so there better be a lot more to the story if they expect to win. 020
